Perfect, family friendly trip!
3/4 Day Trip – Jetty (AM) on August 17, 20254 adults2 children

Captain Eric is a great guide. Knowledgeable about the area and techniques for catching fish. We had a great time and caught a lot of really interesting fish! As a bonus, he's incredibly patient with young kids (we brought our 5 and 7 year old). Eric's calm personality and his own natural curiosity make him a great teacher for young kids (and adults) out on the water. Would absolutely recommend Captain Eric and plan on booking him again soon!

Great captain and guide.
5 Hour Trip – Jetty (PM) on August 9, 20252 adults

This was one of the best short range trips I have been on. My 14 year olds first time out on the ocean fishing. He had a blast and wants to go every weekend. The guide, boat and equipment were excellent. Everything was handled and ready for us.

Angler's Choice

The Angler's Choice Award is given to listings that consistently deliver a high-quality service and earn great reviews from customers.

I spent 20 years in the military and was always stationed near the water. So when I got out in 2017 my family and I wanted to settle near the coast. Since moving to the Texas coast in 2017 I fell in love with fishing and I spend all my free time on the water. When fishing I'm usually catering to family and friends making sure they are catching fish and having a good time. I discovered I preferred fishing in the company of others even more than fishing by myself so I decided to become a guide.
